Tucker Dohr loves ballet—even though some people don't understand his passion for dancing. For example, Tucker doesn't walk to school; he gets there in pas de bourrée steps. And he doesn't drag his feet when his mom asks him to set the table; instead, he does it in relevé, just as he jetés around his whispering twin sisters Blanche and Edie. But the taunts of the football team and the teasing from his Uncle Frank are hard to take. Then Tucker gets a chance to show them just how useful a pirouette can be when you're trying not to get tackled. This book for readers 6 to 8 is illustrated with watercolor cartoons.
